The Volkswagen Transporter T7 represents a significant departure from its predecessor, sharing its platform with the Ford Transit Custom as part of the Ford-Volkswagen commercial vehicle partnership. The result is a van that feels thoroughly modern, with a significantly upgraded interior featuring a 10-inch touchscreen and improved ergonomics. Diesel options range from 110PS to 170PS, with a PHEV variant following later in 2026. Load volume is 5.8 cubic metres in the standard wheelbase, with a 1,000kg payload. Volkswagen’s build quality reputation is evident throughout, though some long-standing Transporter loyalists may need time to adjust to the new platform.
